      NOTE:
      • Do not clean the tip of the fuel injector assembly.
      • Do not use a wire brush to clean the fuel injector assembly.
      • If a fuel injector assembly is dropped or the tip of a fuel injector assembly is struck, replace it with a new one.
    2. Apply engine oil to the fuel injector assembly contact surface of SST (guide), then attach SST (guide) to the fuel injector assembly with the chamfer facing the tip of the fuel injector assembly as shown in the illustration.

      NOTE:

      Be careful not to install the fuel injector seal to SST (holder) at an angle. Doing so will stretch the fuel injector seal.

    4. Install SST (holder) with the fuel injector seal to the tip of the fuel injector assembly. Slide the fuel injector seal downward into the fuel injector assembly groove with your fingers as shown in the illustration.

        2. 09261-03020

      HINT: 

      Check that the fuel injector seal is seated in the fuel injector assembly groove as shown in the illustration.

    5. Slowly slide SST (guide) toward the tip of the fuel injector assembly. When the fuel injector assembly contact surface of SST (guide) aligns with the fuel injector seal as shown in the illustration, hold the position for 5 seconds or more to fully seat the fuel injector seal into the fuel injector assembly groove.

      *a SST (Guide)
      NOTE:

      Be sure that the fuel injector seal is not pinched between SST (guide) and the edge of the fuel injector assembly groove. Replace the fuel injector seal if it becomes damaged.

      HINT: 

      • Set SST (guide) so that its bottom surface is flush with the fuel injector seal.
      • If it is difficult to slide SST (guide) upward, slowly wiggle it from side to side while sliding it up the fuel injector assembly little by little.
    6. After installing the fuel injector seals, check that they are not scratched, deformed or protruding from the fuel injector assembly groove.

      NOTE:

      If a fuel injector seal is scratched, deformed or protruding from the groove, replace it with a new one.

  2. INSTALL FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY 

    HINT: 

    Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing a fuel injector assembly.
